Hi:

I am currently working for a finance company and my salary is in the mid 50s. Last week I got an email from a Recruiter for a English and Nepali Linguist position  to work as a contractor in Iraq. They are paying 150,000 dollars for one year. And he tells me that I can terminate the contract anytime. It will take me three years to make what I can make at this contracting job in one year. Then in one year I can come back to the US, pay off my debts and maybe even invest in a house. I have talked with few friends about this and they all tell me that this money is not worth going to Iraq. I am so torn. I need your advice. What do you suggest I should do?

ps. I am a Nepali female and I do qualify for the position.

Anamika,

After goin through ur discussion thread,I feel that u feel proud of urself.Thats pretty bad.

Rememeber,Gazadi might have been emotional too while writing and made some mistakes.Its

universal that human makes mistakes and english is not a native language for Gazadi and u too.

So,be supportive for those kinds of things and don't post those comments judging others so

inferior.There is no need to post the message Gazadi sent... can u post the message which u

sent to Gazadi so that we can know the fact?And one thing,u r also a nepali.Lots of nepali work 12 hrs a day and 7 days

a week for the sake of their family..Mostly those people are either aged people(around the

age of ur father or uncle)or undergrad students striving hard for their good future.

If u really think urself an educated and a sensible person,never ever discourage those people

who are working so hard.It makes them feel really bad and they also have freaking human

feelings as u.

What a discussion??? What a free publicity, do you all know that Anamika is making money out of it, and making you all a fool.  She is making 2,000 US dollor from each candidate she recomend.  She is like a good business woman and we all are stupid actors.  I will not comment here...I will let you guys to be fool and let Anamika to print green dollor in easy way. 

 

Hello anamika I am a cunning linguist. Can you recommend me for the position? I can make myself available for a one on one demo if you prefer. Sincerely

Anamika,

    Tell me one thing,with how many foreigners have u been messed up till now?I guess you have enough experiences with both native and foreign guys...so,u can come up with gist that foreigners are better.

Its ur life,do however u get more pleasure after all life is perishable.....live to the fullest.All the best and I don't wanna discuss with a person like u now onwards and there will be a day when i will tell u who am i and how much do i earn........some of the things which u told me really offended me,u broker

ALBIDA!!!! 

Hey,

   wats up Gazadi bro and Anamika sis....wats goin on?u guys start knowing each other .....u guys should meet at a place and talk to each other....wat do u think Anamika?

Hey Anamika1 and others:

I believe that USAID and US Embassy, who have recently co located at the New Embassy Compound in the Mahararajgunj area are seeking volunteers to go to Iraq for a year at one time.  I believe quite a few Nepalis who work for USG in Nepal have already volunteered and there are at quite a few Nepalis working on behalf of the USG and its contractors in Iraq as we speak.

I think that for some of the people posted in rural outposts in Kailali, Bardiya, Rukum, Rolpa, Salyan and a few other districts in the height of the Maoist insurgency in Nepal, it was as dangerous if you were working for the then "His Majesty's Government."

My point being, if the money is good, then go for it.  There are dangers in every aspect of our lives, be it at the Ronald Reagan Building in DC, or the New Embassy Compound in Kathmandu or inside the Green Zone in Bagdad!!
